MOST: exploration of Monin-Obukhov parameterization

Setting up environment

To set up environment on GFDL workstation, do:

source env-workstation

On a laptop with gfortran installed, I do:

source env-workstation

most-FMS-2022.02/: this directory contains the code that uses the implementation of MOST from the 2022.02 release of FMS.

• SIM.F90: toy model simulating fluxes and temperatures given idealized input of short-wave and long-wave radiation, prescribed wind, and prescribed temperature in the lowest layer of the atmosphere. The ground is a simple layer with constant heat capacity (which can be zero), directly connected to the surface fluxes.

• plot-SIM.bash: script that compiles the code, runs the SIM.F90 simulation with the parameter it sets, and plots output sving the figures into output directory. Note that it overrides previous results in the output dir, if any.

• SIMA.F90: same as SIM.F90, except temperature of the atmosphere is also prognostic.

• plot-SIMA.bash: as plot-SIM.bash, except using the executable with prognostic temperature of the atmospheric later SIMA.F90.

most-brutsaert/: this directory contains the tests that use MOST implementation from rev.f5ebc26b (2022-07-01 on branch user/slm/sfcx), with modified (0d) interfaces and ability to use Brutsaert stability functions
